Have you ever threatened someone with physical harm for the sake of your dog or cat?

Never, there was a time in the past when someone punched my window because both of my cats were staring at him (he was a weirdo by the way) an they wouldn't come out from under the bed for over 12 hours. Another cat in the neighbourhood ha a large laceration on his head that required veterinary treatment only weeks apart. Obviously after what had happened, I did wonder if the guy had done it.
